Adrenaline Night Run 65k RR (Read 32 times)

Third ultra over the last three weeks and I finally had one come together as planned! 106 degrees at the start and never dipped below 91 all night long. Despite the brutal conditions, we came home with a 2nd place finish. We had an amazing time down here.

Sounds like a really fun run through the night. In the ten or so RR's of your's I've read I think this is the first where you fell back from the lead pack and kept a smart pace. Seams to have worked out really well for you. Nice going on second place!

I dropped back because I was terrified of the race conditions. There's probably a lesson in there somewhere. I still have an enormous amount to learn about how to run smart.

Awesome! Several from my local running club were doing the shorter distances. Agreed, Aravaipa puts on some well run races.

One of these days, that guy I can't beat will sleep in and miss the race. Then the day will be mine!!!

You were 1 alarm clock away from winning! I like to count my position as "# of stomach bugs away from winning". Congrats on the race. Sounds like everything came together for you. How did Jo do in her race?

A man may never run the same trail twice for it is not the same trail and he is not the same man

Jo had a blast! She isn't happy with her year so far and I'm certainly partially responsible for that. She carries a heavy burden with my race schedule and the demands it places on her. I need to find a way to relieve some of that so she can focus on her running a bit more. I've been pretty happy to hear her war stories from the trail and the enthusiasm she's showing about her race. It really makes me happy to see that again.

Kelly- big congrats on a podium finish! You already had my respect, but the last two races in the brutal heat has upped it- I am an absolute pussy when it comes to heat! I'm complaining when it gets into the 70's

I must have missed it, but what were you using for a headlamp? single lamp?
